@rehamkcirtap i know you specifically require a POE switch but I recently bought 2 x SG1024DE smart switches for my future vlan set up. As you say i have also found them ,in my limited experience, easy to use and they do what it says on the tin. I had no problems connecting them up to my router. They"just worked". They may make a POE version of this switch.
Regarding your present problem before returning it might be an idea to remove the switch from the system and try the following
Reset switch. See screen grab taken from my manual. Your reset button might be in a different spot
Plug PC into switch with a known good patch cable. With nothing else connected and both powered on
See if you can access the switch WebUI. See screen grab. Again this is taken from my manual but the default IP of your switch should be the same.
If your still having no joy see the last 2 screens taken from manual. It explains what you have to do to get the pc and the switch "talking". The switch has a default IP of 192.168.0.1 so it's important to give the pc another address number. Try 192.168.0.250 for example
If this works works and you can access the switch webUI. Your getting somewhere lol.
The next step is to try @flintstones 1 cam only method
Good luck

I think this might be an unmanaged switch, at least the installation guide says that on the first page. "Unmanaged Desktop PoE+ Switch "
OP mentions he has a "TL-SG1210P", but maybe double check you don't have the TL-SG1210MP which in the install manual talks about having a feature called "Isolation" that basically blocks all traffic between the individual ports (only traffic from port to uplink works).
I've never had an unmanaged switch not just be plug and play, so if the problem isn't related to isolation feature maybe you just have bad cable or switch itself (especially if you haven't ever had it work out of the box). I would focus on whether you can get two NON-CAMERA, already working devices talking to each other through the switch first, as the default IP of a new camera might add a wildcard you don't need to the initial troubleshooting to make sure the switch is working good. Then proceed with the "one cam at a time" approach. I personally add the camera default subnet to the network card in the PC manually as an additional network, and then connect the camera and pc with a cable (thereby removing the switch from causing any problems during initial setup).
I tried 3 cables that I made myself, three premade, and four or five non camera devices. It is returned and either the replacement works or I get a different kind. Because these are supposed to just work and all the things I've ever used switches for just worked.
